We need your help

Dog fighting: Do you have information about people that are involved in dog fighting, the locations of dog fights or information about any animal used or stolen for 'bait'?

Hunting: Information about where and when hunts are meeting, including in Scotland, information about cruelty to hunting dogs or details of foxes being kept for release for hunting, or artificial earths used to encourage foxes into specific locations?

Snares: Information about the use of snares and details of any animal caught in a snare including in Wales and Northern Ireland. Snares are mainly used on land where birds like grouse and pheasants are shot for sport.

If you see something that you think is a crime you should also call the police on 101. If you don’t report it, the police don’t know it has happened; and remember always ask for a crime reference number.

Bullfighting is perhaps the most well known spectator “sport” involving the killing of animals for entertainment. It has already been banned in most countries, but each year tens of thousands of bulls are maimed, tortured and killed for entertainment in Spain, Portugal, France, Colombia, Mexico, USA, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru.

The hidden side of greyhound racing includes dogs kept for long periods in lonely kennels, painful injuries from racing and training, illness and neglect. Shockingly, thousands of surplus dogs die or disappear every year. The League believes dogs should not suffer or die for entertainment or for the profit of the dog racing industry.

The Hunting Act 2004 is the law which bans chasing wild mammals with dogs in England and Wales – this basically means that fox hunting, deer hunting, hare hunting, hare coursing and mink hunting are all illegal, as they all are cruel sports based on dogs chasing wild mammals.
